Film Review- 2012


Roland Emmerich directs this film. He has destroyed the world with lizards, aliens (twice!!) and global warming. Now it's time for the ultimate rapture. 2012. But first, let me just say something. This may not be the best review for the film because I'm biased. I adore disaster films because they pit ordinary people at Holy Moly circumstances. Volcano and Amraggeddon and The Towering Inferno are among the best disaster films and 2012 joins them.
The film is about an author and limo driver played by John Cusack who's divorced and having a rough patch in his life. On a vacation to Yellowstone Park with his kids, he meets Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson), who knows that the world will end on December 21, 2012. He takes his family (and his ex-wives new boyfriend) off to China, where ships are being made...and the population has begun to spread there in hopes of solace.
This is a great film with wonder ful visuals (astounding water) and great iconic moments (The JFK aircraft carrier rides on a tsunami and crashes into the White house). This film is not one to be missed. I would recommend it immediatly.
Rating: A- or 8.9 out of 10.
